abstract = {This qualitative study explored the struggles and lived experiences of Filipino teachers in the
Kingdom of Thailand who were purposely-selected for being graduates of the Teacher Education
Program of Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College and employed as either private or public school
teachers in Thailand. An online medium such as Messenger was used to gather data in which
participants were interviewed as to their experiences and challenges encountered at workplace.
Results show that their experiences are considered as full of opportunities through landing a job in a
foreign country and proving their worth as good professional teachers; challenging because they were
able to use their knowledge and skills to compete with other teachers in a foreign country and
overcome the difficulties in the workplace so to enjoy their teaching career. The participants also
performed well in the workplace and gained praises for work well done as they grow personally and
professionally by gaining more selfconfidence, trust in their potentials, and desire for improvement.
Despite the pandemic, Filipino teachers remained steadfast, prayerful, and with good values intact
worthy of emulation. They are resilient and strive to excel in a global arena by maintaining their
identities, providing evidence that they have embraced their roles as positive contributors to their
learners and school communities, have overcome challenges in the workplace, and have served as
inspiration to their fellow educators. The findings of this study could serve as an inspiring note for
everyone seeking greener pasture, either in their own country or abroad, who are working truly
towards success.},
